Trades 2023 Fantasy Round 8 Trades

[WaynesWorld19]

The FREO - WCE disagreements, don't just apply to Footy .....but also Fantasy

I like it day is a clear top 6 defender

McPherson is defs top 10 and every chance to be top 6

Locks away atleast 1 keeper and probably 2

In all honestly I think you've missed the boat on Macpherson, I'd be mindful bringing him in at this stage.

Thanks man. So usual thinking is to avoid dunks at all costs then. VC it is then.

Drilling down into the relevant players they haven’t been that hard to score against.

Round 1 - Taranto went big
2 - Cats don’t have a relevant mid
3 - Kelly went big and Green went 110. Cogs mid 80’s
4 - LDU 91 coming off injury
5 - Laird and Dawson went mental for large chunk of it before slowing
6 - Steele and Crouch scored poorly but Steele had less than 50% CBA’s
7 - Telly ton

Doesn’t seem that bad tbh outside Crouch

 

[Corkintheocean]

Looks like he has cemented his spot in the side though, don't think he's a possible top 6?

I haven't followed him close enough. I view him as a stepping stone more than top 6.

F$%k I should've traded WilFLOP

now I'm not gonna have enough cash to go to Fio next week...

Ginbey & Mackenzie - Sinclair & Monsieur Rat King

Don't love bringing in Atkins but there's no other cheapo I trust, and he's my ticket to a nicely underpriced Sinclair so just have to roll the dice and pray it's not another Wagner/Constable situation.

4-6 weeks ....with Touks dedication & fitness, I can see that being on the lower side .....another 2-3 weeks, is my guess

Was it a meniscus tear, looked like it. Having had a meniscus tear (thank you Tony Free tackle), it is now 6 weeks after it used to be 10 minimum. The tear can repair faster (if so) and it might be good at 4, but I think 6 is pretty likely.

Might be a blessing in disguise yet if that was your destiny - hang fire

Definitely meniscus ...the question was whether it was a tear, or simply needing a trim

You're right though, recovery times for those injuries are much quicker these days

Fio for Wilmot and Pou was the goal but now hes gonna be out of reach, he will score much better than those two and it gets another rook off field (not that I'm fielding either of these 2)

Google reckons if surgery is required it’s a lot longer

They can thank my stupidity for that

Every meniscus tear is a bit different. My experience was (when it was commonplace to remove the menisicus or cut off the 'offending' piece) they stitched the meniscus that was sheered nearly in half. It was to be 10 weeks on crutches and then rehab, however I slipped and fell on a slippery driveway at 6 weeks, and had an immediate scope (two days) to assess. The surgeon (leading Rugby ortho surgeon) was stunned that the meniscus had repaired already, photos where taken and apparently sent out via whatever media was available back then. It changed the expectations of recovery apparently.

Interesting! Here’s hoping for Touk then. I’m going hard on him in all my drafts haha

This says non-operative recovery time (6-8 weeks) .....Touk was operated on though

Touk's looked a carbon copy to mine (from the luxury of the TV) and surgery not a surprise - it probably was sheered between the two bones as well. I'd guess nothing less than 6 weeks, but it will be with extra interest that I watch how he goes. It is probably repaired earlier that 6 weeks in some cases, maybe it not as central on the meniscus, and he has a great bank of aerobic talent.

 

[Corkintheocean]

He does go better at Marvel, but just enjoy the 107 in isolation I reckon.

Upon reflection...the 172 double would have been more enjoyable.

When you catch up on the thread after the game.

 

[Phar Ace]

Watch out for cash drains (like Setterfield atm) too - sometimes it helps to hold a rookie that is leaking $10-20k but rid a drain that is gushing $50-60k. I haven't stressed over Dunkley losing $25k, then 25k, then 10k, then 25k, etc (all up about $100k) because I dont think I'll ever trade him, as the drops will be balanced by some rises soon enough

Nice timing Dunks - very nice!

I hope that poster I advised not to put the (VC) on Dunkley, isn't looking for me ......I may need a place to hide ....maybe time to have that Username change

Haha. You also forgot Dunks loves a cuddle, so does Fagan and he now has the license!
Dunks tackle in reverse round order:

Trades remain the same after Wilmot's shocking score (still not even his worst though, lol) -

Cowan > Ratkins
Setterfield > Steele
